Charles Leclerc will attempt to claim a fourth pole position in a row in qualifying for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix today.

The Ferrari driver went fastest in Friday’s practice session as he edged out the Red Bulls of Sergio Perez and Max Verstappen in Baku.

Leclerc, who also secured pole at last season’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix, trails Verstappen by nine points in the drivers standings.

But the 24-year-old went fastest by a quarter-of-a-second round the Baku street circuit, as Fernando Alonso and Carlos Sainz completed the top five.
